[A/S] Levelers



Hello everyone,
Its Barbara from Ohio. We just completed our "maiden voyage" in 
our '73 International.  We christened our 'stream visiting 
Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons with Montana and Nebraska as 
bookends. Our 29 International performed well. As we were reading 
about Lewis and Clark along the way, we were happy to do so in the 
comfort of our Airstream....yes we did see a bear in the Teton RV 
park but it was a not a grizzly....I was still happy to have some 
metal between us and she....I know I could not go back to a tent now!

This is our first trailor and we had difficulty leveling every night.
People were talking about the Tamarack leveler  on the list and 
directed me to a website, but I couldn't find the item.  I did find 
some interesing levelers, some are florescent plastic which look easy 
to use, but so did the jacks.....I think it is crucial for the fridge 
to be level, am I right?  I like the stability of using jacks even if 
you are still hitched, but what do people who travel a lot do?  Are 
there easy jacks that attach to the underside?  We have these tripod- 
like jacks but you have to crawl under the trailer every time to use 
them...What are your thoughts on this important fact of traveling 
life.

Barbara
